Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is becoming increasingly clear that inflammation plays a pivotal role in orchestrating the repair of damaged tissues, acting as both a trigger and regulator of regenerative processes. However, the dual nature of inflammation—as both a facilitator and potential inhibitor of regeneration—remains a significant focus of contemporary research. This Special Issue seeks to advance our understanding of this complex interplay and highlight novel therapeutic strategies that leverage inflammation to promote effective regeneration.
The topics of interest include the following:
- Molecular and cellular mechanisms linking inflammation and regeneration;
- The role of immune cells in regulating tissue repair;
- Therapeutic interventions targeting inflammatory pathways to enhance regeneration;
- Biomarkers for assessing inflammation–regeneration dynamics;
- Innovations in regenerative medicine addressing inflammation-induced challenges.
We invite submissions of original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and methodological advances that address these topics and related areas. Contributions should provide new insights into the fundamental biology of inflammation and regeneration, as well as translational approaches with clinical relevance.
This Special Issue offers an opportunity to showcase cutting-edge research at the intersection of inflammation and regeneration, with the potential to inform future therapeutic developments.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Life is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
